Arrest Of the Gamblers.

The Every Evening has done great
work, and far be 1t from rs to say .
sin Rle word which would detrAct from
1t tie merit and praise which are Its
due. Tae gam blers have been struck
heavy blow; let Us hope that IL will be
folio wed up BY . heavier one before the
court. The preliminary work has been
done and wsll done. The gamblers have
been caught In the act with oil the evi-
denc ces OF their nsfarious trade around
them. Tee surprise hss been 30 sudden
and com p!ete that the guilty ghouls OF
public immortality and indeceuoy had
40 opportunity for hiding any Of the
evidences OF their guilt. Il ell stAnds
out CHASTITY, naked and ugly against
back ground Of public opinion that will
bring these guilty violators OF law to
justice II there 10 any virtue in the laws
for the punishment OF gambling After
congrAtulA.ing the Every Evening, the
people can congratulate themselves
that . fair test OF the law Is nov to be
made. The determination aud vim that
have routed the gam blers from their lair
and pat those that could give them
bonds to appear and answer at court,
and have sent those who could not give
them to jail, viii not fAlter or fail until
ali tha! can be done will be done to Sc
cure convictions under the law, NO
nA.ter what punish ments may follow.
The E 1ery E E7ening has done its work
we'll wilhous saying much. 30 discreet
and silent has II been that 1t has been
aoouseds Of being In league with the
gamblers. Instead Of exhAussina its
energies by calling upon Mayor RhoAd.
and his police to break up the gam'
bling dens OF the city, 1t has pu. 1t:
own shoulder to the wheel, and 1t hai
found in Mayor RooAds and his police
force able coadjuso in making the ar
rests and In vindtcAting the majesty oi
law. II may be said that any body
could have done what the Every Even
ing has done had they pursued the
same course. Very true; there are many
who could have done SO, but they did
not and would not do 1t. No. to thos'
who could do the work and did not 1,
the NEED OF praise to fall, buI to thost
who did this work.
Bu. already We hesr 1t said, nov
they have caught them, le. rs SEE them
convicE ,hsm before the court. You
will sec where your law will be before
you get through. md many more re.
marks 0: 0 similar nature. ALI right
II there is no virtue In the law, Ii there
are loopholes OF escape, II the Law hst
any inp.rieotion by which 1! tails tc
convict these gam oIers sseeped In guilt
let IL be known, aud the sooner tht
people know 1t the better. Ls. every
weakness OF the Law now be fully
brough: out, thai other Lag siAture
my supply the detects and streng gther
ths weak paris Where such consum
mate skill has been displayed in max
Ing these Arrests and getting right do VI
TO the very bottom facts OF the gam
blsrs' secrets, 1t would seem like super.
roga.!on for us to give advice, bu. Il
our evening contemporary will permi,
as we would simply say to II in ii
vance besare 0. the Jury fxer." H.
will bs about when the court N acts
and tha man to be fixed will be promi

nistske DO made The gam blers ar
on the rrr. let them oe kept on the rul
1ntii ttey shall be compelled to leAv
the city o, 60 to jail. The evil Of gam
bling has acquired a deep hold In ou
city, All hercullsn effJrts will be re
quired 20 eradicate II. Yesterday
work, though immense In proportion
and fsr-reAohing In Its irfl 1enoe is br
the beginning OF the battle, bu. the b
